(10,222 posts)...especially if it comes at the expense of more reliable voters that can be counted on.
I know it's a crazy idea, but hear me out: how about putting forth candidates that appeal to the most voters and can get the most votes? Which is what the primary process is for...But a certain segment of the left seems to think that the dastardly DNC is """rigging""" everything against them, even though time and time again there are examples -- like last night in NYC -- of their candidates winning. When their candidates lose, it ain't because of DNC """rigging""" -- it's because they are usually flawed candidates who do not have the support that other candidates have.
If your preferred candidate can't make it through the primary and earn the support of a majority of Democratic voters, odds are they have no chance in hell of winning the general election.
